Rich Eats: Advent Calendar Day 10

Cinnamon! Congratulations Nick and Sylvia!
(watch the video and you will understand why I’m writing that…)

I first learned this little trick from Tim Ferriss. Use ground cinnamon to lessen the impact of sugar on your blood sugar levels. The slower the sugar is released, the less likely that sugar is going to be turned into stored fat. Simple.

But what’s actually happening? Well, cinnamon slows the rate at which the stomach empties after meals, reducing the spike in blood sugar after eating. This great info for vanity, stable energy levels and diabetics!

(Tim’s book the 4 hour body is awesome, and if you’re into the fine details then I highly recommend it!)
